Somehow, Hannah Montana is 20 years old. The show itself is older than the title character by many years.
While I go lie down and contemplate my fleeting mortality, here is a fun bit of news: To celebrate this momentous and slightly horrifying anniversary, Disney is going to stream a Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special. And series star, Miley Cyrus, is confirmed to appear.
According to a press release, “the special will be filmed in front of a live studio audience and will feature an exclusive, in-depth interview with Miley Cyrus, hosted by Alex Cooper. The conversation will offer an intimate look at the creation of one of pop culture’s most iconic characters and the lasting impact the show and character have had on fans around the world. With heartfelt nostalgia and fresh perspective, Cyrus will revisit the moments, music and memories that defined an era. Viewers will be treated to never-before-seen archival footage, while some of the most memorable sets from “Hannah Montana” are brought back to life — including the Stewart family living room and the legendary Hannah Montana closet.”
